About the session
LIVE
This talk will outline the key moments and lessons that propelled a small UX practice into a strategic resource for our CEO, product teams, and other functions across the company.
These include:
- How I used my background in consulting to pitch the idea for my new UX role
- The first quick win that heightened the value of UX research within our team
- The importance of sponsors/allies in gaining influence
- How a deep knowledge of our company’s business performance and priorities became a key advantage
Participants will learn:
- More budget and headcount is not necessarily the path to greater impact
- Limited resources could be the superpower that helps you make a bigger difference within your company
- For UX to have a bigger impact and influence within your company, you need to learn and do lots of non-UX-y things
